    Why Isn’t Gina Haspel Coming Clean About Torture?
    Because everybody else, including congress and the executive branch, had their heads up their asses at the time. Why single her out?

    He thought 3 weeks ago that Rand wouldn't have voted for Pompeo, he isn't claiming Rand said he wouldn't vote for Pompeo.

    I know he's a nice guy, just a bit trigger happy.

    Fair enough. But I was shocked at how casually someone with more +rep than most would openly advocate murder of me and mine for no reason whatsoever. Racism I get. Mass murder I do not. Trigger happy? If this country keeps going the way it's headed I may need to get one.

    Edit: And I know I'm crossing threads here, but I'm responding to your "again" part. As for Matt on Rand, we had a previous discussion where it turned out that Matt was basing his view on what he thought Rand said as opposed to what was said. I see in this case Matt is basing it on what he thought Rand would do as opposed to what he thought Rand would say. As for me I don't have the same expectations of Rand.

    So will she be confirmed? 2 GOP against, one Dem in favor

    http://wfpl.org/rand-paul-still-oppo...ation-program/
    After an event in Louisville, Paul said he wasn’t convinced by Haspel’s testimony and that she shouldn’t be “rewarded” for her involvement in the program.

    “I think that people, after the fact when they’re struggling to get a nomination, will say a lot of things. She struggled to say though whether it was immoral even today,” Paul said.

    “To my mind, torturing people is immoral and something we shouldn’t do. It’s against the Geneva Convention, it’s against American principles.”

    Haspel ran a secret CIA prison in Thailand during the administration of President George W. Bush.

    Paul is one of two Senate Republicans so far who openly oppose Haspel’s confirmation. Arizona Sen. John McCain released a statement earlier this week calling Haspel’s role in the interrogation program “disturbing” and urging the Senate to reject her nomination.

    One Democrat, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said he would support her.
